Google announces the best apps and games for 2018

For the first time, the Google Play Awards don't have one outright winner but instead are divided into nine categories.

The nominees were announced late last month and have been judged by Google employees in that time. All apps follow the Android vitals guidelines and have either launched or had a major update since April 2017.
